Bug#737325: libvtk6-dev: moving python and java runtime out of -dev package

Package: libvtk6-dev
Version: 6.0.0-2
Severity: minor

The libvtk6-dev should only contains files needed to build with VTK
but it also contains python and java runtime libraries. Looking at what
is done for other python and java native wrapper in Debian I would have
expected:
- libvtk*Python*.so in python-vtk6 (as already done for python-vtk)
- libvtk*Java*.so in a new libvtk6-jni package
- libvtk6-java to be arch all and depends on libvtk6-jni
